dtrs5kprs Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 Today was a good day for it, and it's variation from Ned's Midwest Finesse. Namely, fishing deeper, a little slower, with a slightly heavier head, and less movement of the bait. Brown fish were worked up out in front of bushes on pea gravel and mixed rock banks. Mostly 7'-15' or so, keeping the boat in 19'-21'. Water temps jumped up toward the middle 80's by afternoon, water had a little less color. Most of our fish were on a 1/8oz head, cut Zinkerz- PBJ, GP goby, and Canada Craw. Also had a few on a jig, finesse and big football, tube, and even a hula grub. Total would have threatened 50. No monsters, maybe 5-6 keepers, just lots of pullers. In the running for the Most Spawned Out Fish... Football jig fish... Ned Rig keeper and a fancy shirt for Champ (it was free, so...) Around 1pm the short man had a flurry of catching as he discovered the classic bikini boat dock pattern. For some reason he became a dedicated line watcher right then.

Quillback Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 Sweet, I am surprised to see a spawned out brownie this late. And I did not see "Dirt" in your list of successful colors so I am also a bit disappointed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We caught quite a few brown fish that had recently spawned over the two weeks. When this year's deluge hit, the brown fish were just starting to come up in numbers. Not surprised it knocked some back, plus the fish that always spawn late. That one was paper thin.

Ham Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 its so funny the confidence games we play on ourselves. Color preferences become self fulfilling prophecies. Dirt is a very good color for me and I struggle with PB and J. I want to catch them on it, but I just can't get those Peanut Butter Vibes.

dtrs5kprs Posted June 17, 2017 Author Share Posted June 17, 2017 We threw a lot of dirt the first couple of years. Just never fished as well as other colors on our places. Might be a water color thing. Daryk Campbell Sr 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seth Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 PBJ is the only color I bother carrying anymore. These river smallies near me love it. dtrs5kprs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
